Sheri Mullins, AS/Early Childhood Education
About Me

My name is Sheri Mullins, and I would like to introduce myself as your Director.  I am originally from California, and I have seven sisters and four children.   In my free time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, photography, reading, and cooking. I attended Tidewater Community College and received my Associate Degree in Early Education and am a few classes shy of finishing my Bachelor's degree. I have worked with hearing impaired children and taught Enrichment Classes for Spotsylvania County Schools. I have been in the early education field for more than 25 years.  I compare working with children to be the happiest place on Earth just like Disney World.  Children’s arrival time is my favorite time of the day because of all the hugs they give starts my day off right. Being the Director at Learning Paths Academy is one of the most rewarding positions I have ever had.  Meeting the needs of my children helps me meet the needs of the whole family and promotes growth that will positively impact our society as a whole one-day.
